Refreshing virtualization server information
Device Manager virtualization server information must be refreshed to reflect the current configuration.
Prerequisites
Check the following information before proceeding.
When managing a virtualization server by using Host Data Collector:
• If the virtualization servers are managed together using VMware vCenter Server:
• IP address or host name of the machine where Host Data Collector is installed
• IP address or host name of VMware vCenter Server
• User account with the system management role of VMware vCenter Server
• If the virtualization servers are not managed together using VMware vCenter Server:
• IP address or host name of the machine where Host Data Collector is installed
• IP address or host name of the virtualization server
• User account with the system management role of VMware vCenter Server
When managing a virtualization server by using vMA:
• IP address or host name of vMA
• User account of vMA
When managing the virtualization server VMware ESX by using Device Manager, you need to apply
the latest virtualization server configuration to the database by using one of the following methods:
• In the Add Hosts window, re-register the virtualization server in Device Manager.
• From the Hosts tab in the Administration tab, update the information for each virtualization server.
In configurations where all the virtual servers are managed together by VMware vCenter Server, you
can conveniently update (overwrite) information for all of the virtualization servers by re-registering
the revised vMA or VMware vCenter Server information.
1. Log in to Device Manager using the System account.
2. On the Administration tab, click Managed Resources.
3. On the Hosts tab, click Add Hosts.
4. Specify the necessary information in the Add Hosts window.
All virtualization server information is updated (overwritten) immediately.
